  35. Achievements • Implementation of the revised salary package for investigators which • Assisted in the retention of investigators • Boosted morale within the investigation component which is evident from the output attained in the period of 9 months • Despite the challenges that we still encounter wrt to reaching outlying areas we attended 74% of scene of crime • We have reduced the workload of the previous financial years (backlog) to a manageable level • Considering the number of those police officers convicted, we believe that we are continuing to make a strong impact in uprooting bad elements within the SAPS and MPS • Although the Anti Corruption Unit has a limited number of investigators, it continues to make an impact in this area – the two cases of corruption involving 2 officers in the Durban Metro Police who were arrested for traffic fines related corruption, is a case in point

  36. Challenges • Restructuring of Programme 2 and 3 • The effect of restructuring • Increase our human resource capacity to investigate complaints • Increase our capacity to conduct more station visits/audits • Increase the turnaround time • Addressing the legal lacuna iro recommendations to ensure uniformity in implementation of discipline • Strengthening relationships with our stakeholders – SAPS, Metro Police Services and DPP

  37. Priorities for 2008/2009 • Rolling out of the four satellite offices • Relocation of the satellite office from Richards Bay to Empangeni • Ensuring that the programme is ready for its maiden performance audits • Coordinate stakeholder workshops for the 8 provinces • Secure training opportunities for ICD investigators into the detective learning programme offered by SAPS

  40. 2. COMMUNICATION AND MARKETING: • Prompt media responses – time taken to respond to media enquiries is within the 1 hour of receipt and we do meet the target. • ICD Marketing Activities – ICD Ten Year Celebrations - the component organised a gala dinner during its tenth year anniversary which was a huge success. Amongst other projects undertaken during the celebrations, the component produced promotional items like t-shirts, bags, pens etc. which were all branded in accordance with the celebrations to market this important milestone.

  41. Communication (cont…) • Newspaper inserts - the component produced 500 000 copies of newspaper inserts that were distributed to communities around the country through various newspapers. The inserts explained and informed communities on ICD’s mandate, the process of lodging a complaint, how complaints are handled and contact numbers for all ICD offices nationwide • Post office advert - the ICD produced an advert which was aired on post office television for three months. The advert was aimed at educating communities about ICD’s mandate. It was played in three different languages in over 500 post offices countrywide.

  42. Communication (cont…) • Radio and Television adverts - the Communications component organised many radio and television interviews from the beginning of last year as part of its marketing strategy. Senior managers, the acting executive director, provincial heads and the organizational spokesperson were afforded an opportunity to take part in these interviews. All these interviews were granted free of charge. • Newspaper adverts - the component placed two adverts in Sowetan and City Press newspapers. The advert was aimed at marketing ICD and its services to communities.

  43. Communication (cont…) • Corporate gifts and other items - Communications produced corporate pens, key holders and business card holders that were branded with ICD logo. The gifts are given to stakeholders as tokens of appreciation. We have also produced folders that are in line with ICD ’s corporate image. • Community Outreach Programmes - Many outreach campaigns were organised nationally where the said promotional items were distributed to communities – target was met and exceeded.
